Many doctors over the years have told their patients that they should avoid Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT). But some post-thyroid cancer patients simply didn’t believe that was their best decision. This page explores a few research studies, talks about the thyroglobulin issue in NDT, and gives several testimonies of patients who moved to NDT. We leave that totally up to you in working with your doctor.

This page is about interviews with 31 thyroid cancer patients, and what wisdom they would give to others based on several topics, such as being your own best advocate, your attitude about it all, working with doctors, post surgery, and others around you. All to help empower you based on the wisdom of others. Decide what resonates with you.
